A funny bug in Lithuanian language is that the word for “towel” is “rankšluostis” (hand + wipe), så we have things as “kojų rankšluostis” (hand-wipe for legs) “veido rankšluostis” (hand-wipe for face) etc

@sankuperis Things can escalate. Imagine a is it "hand wipe for left hand" vs "toe wipe for right big toe" dilemma.

@sankuperis This must be dealt with! Surely the VLKKK can do something about this?

@mugetuft If you find proof that this is “rusicizmass”, “polonizmass” or “anglisicizmass”, then sure they will deal with it haha

@sankuperis Do you have "kojušluostis" in front of your door?

@PiRXlv No :D

@sankuperis Interesting. Same in 🇪🇪. “Käterätik” regardless of the size and which body part it is used for.

@sankuperis Ha, in Latvia we do :D

@sankuperis In polish it is "ręcznik" and hands is "ręce"

@sankuperis Might be tricky. But surely they would prefer ‘kojšluostis’, ‘veidšluostis’ etc.

@sankuperis Abrūsas! 😉

@mugetuft You can always send them a message about it and they will have a whole seating about it…

@PiRXlv @sankuperis Varbūt latviešu valodā laiks ieviest rokslauķi kā loģisku atbildi kājslauķim!

@didzvein @sankuperis Es domāju, ka vajag pārspēlēt lietuviešus un ieviest "roku kājslauķi"!

@sankuperis Yra ir virtuvinis rankšluostis 😂

@sankuperis In Dutch, German and Luxembourgish it is the same: handdoek, Handtuch, Handduch, the second part of the word meaning cloth.

@sankuperis Well, you have to use your hands to hold the towel so not so inappropriate really!

@jaanus @sankuperis Philistine! Näorätik, käterätik, saunalina, jalarätik

@didzvein @PiRXlv @sankuperis "dvielis" esot aizņemts no vācu valodas, bet visu ko atrodu ir handtuch, kas galīgi neizklausās līdzīgi

@Nobanots @PiRXlv @sankuperis Tas varētu būt no kāda dialekta, nevis no standarta vācu valodas

@didzvein @Nobanots @sankuperis Dvielis esot no Middle High German, cik sapratu, kaut kas līdzīgs "duēle" bijis. Kopīgas saknes ar "towel" :) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dvielis

@didzvein @Nobanots @sankuperis Pilnīgi izgaršoju "Pado' man to dvēl'!"

@sankuperis indų rankšluostis ;) (the one for dishes)

@sankuperis Not a bug but a feature 😉 You use your hand after all to make use of them, don’t you?

@sankuperis Handschuhe

@jmswtf @sankuperis па беларуску - ручнік так сама
